Where to Spend a Summer Friday: Westover Beer Garden & Haus

July 15th, 2019

Billing itself as Arlington’s best neighborhood bar, the Westover Beer Garden and Haus has integrated itself into the life and culture of the neighborhood. Since the Hicks family added the Beer Garden to the Westover Market a decade ago, it’s become a local favorite. That’s not only because the space itself is lovely in the warmer months, but also because it’s a constant source of craft beers, live music, and communal dining experiences.

Drawing on the expertise of the market’s in-house butcher, Westover’s weekly food specials include burger night on Mondays, eco-friendly Taco Tuesdays, steaks on Wednesdays, fried chicken on Thursdays, and an al-fresco Sunday brunch that regulars say is among the area’s best. Most nights you can also count on live music, from folk and bluegrass to rock and jazz. Check the online schedule to see who’s playing, or just stop by for a few beers, a bite to eat, and to enjoy the music.
